Subject: Peter Henrici Prize 2015, Call for Nominations
The Peter Henrici Prize is awarded every four years jointly by ETH
Zurich and SIAM for original contributions to applied analysis and
numerical analysis and/or for exposition appropriate for applied
mathematics and scientific computing. The award is intended to
recognize broad and extended contributions to these subjects, more
than a single outstanding work.
The Henrici Prize will be awarded at ICIAM 2015, to be held August
10-14, 2015, in Beijing, P. R. China. The award will include a
certificate containing the citation, a cash award of US$5000, and an
invitation to present a lecture at the congress. Reasonable travel
expenses for attendance at the congress will also be reimbursed.
A nomination should include a letter of nomination, including a
description of the contributions, a CV of the candidate, and up to
(but no more than) six (6) letters of support. Nominations should be
addressed to Professor Qiang Du, Chair, Peter Henrici Prize Selection
Committee, and sent by MAY 1, 2014, to the e-mail address given in the
call for nominations at
http://www.siam.org/prizes/nominations/nom_henrici.php. Inquiries
should be addressed to J. M. Littleton at [log in to unmask]

Deadline: 24:00 (GMT), March 10, 2014
Summary of prize rules (see http://focm-society.org/smale_prize.php
for full details):
- The goal of the Smale Prize is to recognize major achievements in
furthering the understanding of the connections between mathematics
and computation, including the interfaces between pure and applied
mathematics, numerical analysis and computer science.
- To be eligible for the prize a candidate must be in his or her early
to mid career, meaning, typically, removed by at most 10 years of
his/her (first) doctoral degree by the first day of the FoCM meeting
(Dec 11, 2014). Allowances might be made for atypical life
circumstances.
- Each nomination should be accompanied by a brief case for
support. The nomination should include at least three letters of
recommendation.
- The recipient of the prize is expected to give a lecture at the
meeting. A written version of this lecture (tagged as the Smale
Prize Lecture) will be included in the volume of plenary talks.

Subject: Official release of SU2 V3.0, SU2 Educational V1.0
Since its introduction in January 2012, SU2, The Open-Source CFD Code,
has been downloaded thousands of times by users and developers in
academia, government, and industry, including many leading companies
and universities. As an open-source project, the growth of active user
and developer communities is a crucial goal for SU2. Given the
incredibly positive response, we are pleased to announce a new version
of the code with major improvements and a entirely new package for
educational purposes.
This release marks the third major version of the SU2 open-source code
(http://su2.stanford.edu). SU2 is a collection of C++ software tools
for performing Partial Differential Equation (PDE) analysis and for
solving PDE-constrained optimization problems, with special emphasis
on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and aerodynamic shape design.
Version 3.0 has a number of major additional capabilities:
- Adjoint-based RANS shape optimization.
- New unsteady analysis and design optimization capability.
- Upgrades to the underlying parallelization and file I/O.
- Significant improvements to the accuracy, performance, and
robustness of the software suite.
Alongside Version 3.0 of SU2, we are introducing SU2 Educational
(SU2_EDU): a new, educational version of the Euler/Navier-Stokes/RANS
solver from the SU2 suite. The simplified structure of SU2_EDU makes
it suitable for students and beginners in CFD. By focusing on a
handful of key numerical methods and capabilities, SU2_EDU is ideal
for use in CFD courses, for independent studies, or just to learn
about a new field!
SU2_EDU is also geared toward anyone interested in high-fidelity
airfoil analysis. The initial version of SU2_EDU is an intuitive, easy
to use tool for computing the performance of airfoils in inviscid,
laminar, or turbulent flow including non-linear effects in the
transonic regime, that only requires the airfoil coordinates.
